Fermi kinetics transport program models high-speed semiconductor devices better, Journal of Applied Physics editor’s pick study says

The commercial hydrodynamics package (left) predicts that electron temperatures can drop below the ambient temperature (300 kelvins, or 80 degrees Fahrenheit in this simulation) while the Fermi kinetics solver (right) gives more reasonable temperature predictions.
